Abstract:Smaller communities, like their larger cousins, must modify their transportation
networks to suit changes in demand. However, unlike larger communities, smaller
communities may lack the ability to pay for these improvements, either through
developer contributions or through an effective capital projects budget. With
the availability of capital projects grants decreasing over time, small,
rural communities are becoming even less able to perform necessary system
improvements to keep pace with increasing demand. This presentation discusses
the constraints facing small, rural communities and how two cities and a county
worked together with the assistance of local citizens, integrating land use
planning, transportation planning and a geographic information system and
using a simple model to begin to allocate "fair share."
